Who don’t want to success? But what is the secret of success? Hard work? dedication? Luck? I feel all are secrets of Success but they are individual. There is a single element which can bring all above 3 and rest of the secrets of Success together. what is it? The answer is Burning Desire. The most important secret of getting succeeded in any task is a Burning Desire to succeed. It is that little bit element which can make a Big Difference. A small fire cannot give much heat; a delicate desire cannot produce results, it has to be a burning desire.
Let me first put a very well known story of Socrates.
- Socrates had been asked by a young man “the secret of success”. Socrates took the young man into the river. When the water got up to their neck, Socrates forced him down into the river. Socrates was stronger to that young man and kept him under the water until he started drowning. Then Socrates pulled him out of the water. The young man was astonishingly looking towards Socrates and there was a question mark on his face.
To explain why he had done this, Socrates asked him, “What did you want the most when you were under the water?”
The young man said, ”Air.”
Socrates said, “The day when you desire for success as badly as you wanted the air, success will be there for you. That is the secret of success.”
This remains truly inspiring story for me from the time I read it. I can differentiate successful and unsuccessful attempt very well now. When I analyze, I find this is the only reason between success and failure. You think about the same I am sure u will find the same. A burning desire to achieve goals is the first step and the most decisive to turn dream into reality.
Man knows its capabilities and strengths very well. Now it is matter of utilizing it to the optimum. With the desire man can utilize his strengths to its maximum, and he gives his best to the cause. This easily brings success to the task. The other way to look at it is also there. With the burning desire man gives his best to the task and unluckily he got failure, there will be at least at self satisfaction that he has given his best to the task This will be helpful to accept the failure also. If he would not have given his best, there will be a itch throughout the life that he could have done better but he had not.
I like to give few qualities of man who bring success to their life with this burning desire
These men are proactive, they never sit and wait for the things to happen. They do things themselves and very fast.
They are having positive attitude. They usually believe in themselves and always have positive look towards the matter. They usually are “solution conscious” rather than “problem conscious.”
They are prepared to learn new things This is a very essential quality of man. This differentiates an extra ordinary man from an ordinary man.
They are having adjusting nature. Thus they can adopt any given situation.
They knows their goal very clear and best. I think this is must in each stage of life. With clarity in mind one can do wonder.
They take the risk better They are not gambler but they take calculative risk. If u want to find America, u need to sail in unknown sea.
I am ending the review with a golden line… I don’t know what future holds but I know who hold the future.
